A stunning number of variants was offered for the medium-heavy duty triple feed sewing machine class 467 made by Kochs Adler AG. After the merger, also Dürkopp Adler AG continued with many 467 subclasses. It was only a few years ago, when the last remaining longarm sewing machine class 467-65 was replaced by the modern M-Type sewing machines.

The Adler class 104 and class 105 were made for leatherworkers and to sew heavy upholstery. Seems that many chinese machines like Cowboy Sewing, or Cobra sewing machines are more or less clones of these machines or at least based on these old constructions or on the successors class 204 and 205.

Many 104 or 105 machines are still in use or traded as used machines, so we publish the leaflets to make the identification easier.
